Light in Flavour

When you want a delicate sweetness in your baking, using White Sugar or Caster Sugar can provide a subtle sweetness that enhances the other flavours without overpowering them.

Fruity

Using fruit can add a natural, fruity sweetness to baking, creating a refreshing, light flavour or adding sweet tartness. White Sugar or Caster Sugar in baking, allows the flavour of the fruit to shine and Jam Setting Sugar preserves the taste of fruit in vibrant jams.

Nutty

Coconut Sugar bring a subtle nuttiness to baked goods, elevating the taste with a mild, natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with tropical flavours.

Spiced

Using sugars with spices like cinnamon, ginger, licorice or chai can lend a warm, aromatic sweetness to baking.

Caramel

Utilising brown sugars or incorporating caramelised sugar syrups creates a richer, deeper flavor profile, adding a hint of caramel or toffee-like taste.

Chocolate

Chocolate adds a decadent richness to baked goods with its deep cocoa flavour, making it perfect for indulgent treats. Try adding a deep flavoured Brown Sugar to the mix for enhanced chocolate flavour.

Soooo yummy! I made the pav recipe as individual serves - this was a hit at our dinner party! I highly recommend.

Method

Pavlova : Preheat oven to 110° bake (not fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper and draw a line in pencil around a dinner plate to form the outer edge of your wreath. Use a saucer to draw a smaller circle in the middle, ensuring each part of the wreath is at least 10cm in diameter.

In a large glass bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Continue beating, adding the Chelsea Raw Caster Sugar a quarter of a cup at a time. The mixture will get glossier and thicker; continue this for at least 10 minutes. Beat in vanilla essence, vinegar and cornflour.

Spoon mixture evenly onto the wreath marked out on the tray, and bake for approximately 90 minutes, until dry and crisp. Turn oven off and leave for at least another hour before removing from the oven. Allow to cool completely before adding toppings.

Black Doris Plum Drizzle : Drain plums, retaining the syrup. Set the plums aside to use for topping the pavlova. Combine plum syrup, plum jam, Chelsea Blackstrap Molasses and Chelsea Jam Setting Sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer until you have a sticky, thick sauce. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Mascarpone Cream : Combine all ingredients together until evenly mixed and smooth.

Assemble the pavlova. Using a spatula, cover pavlova carefully with the mascarpone cream. Slice the tinned Black Doris Plums, and decorate evenly around the wreath onto the cream (they will bleed a little).

Drizzle pavlova carefully with plum sauce reduction. Crush the freeze-dried fruits in your fingers and sprinkle generously around the wreath and plate. Serve immediately.

TIP: Keep any leftover plum sauce reduction - it's very tasty on scones!
